Faculty Discussion Series

As professors at a Christian college, we do many things common to those who teach
at all colleges and universities:

Advise students

Place course objectives in the context of curricular and institutional goals

Design assignments

Assess our students' work

But what might those practical aspects of teaching look like from a Christ-centered
perspective? How might we not only conceive of our vocation in the context of the
historic Christian faith but also carry it out in such a way that our students will
know that we are Christ's disciples? Although graduate school did not train us to
answer these questions, we are part of a community devoted to our continuing formation
in Christ-centered higher education.

We look forward to sharing conversations among colleagues about teaching and learning
in the context of Christ-centered higher education.

SERIES DETAILS

Monthly throughout most of the academic year, faculty join together to discuss pre-selected
topics related to teaching in a Christian higher education setting. We'll cover the
cost of your Phelps Dining Hall lunch and discuss the chosen topic in Maas Conference
Room.

The high school students participating in the Awakening faith-formation summer institute at Hope College don’t just learn about worship. They also plan and lead a service themselves, applying skills and perspective that they’ve gained along the way, lessons that the program’s organizers hope will make a lasting difference to them — and, through them, to others.
